Shout out to Pepe Lives Matter (@Ultrafrog17 on X) for bringing this to my attention…
Have the Rothschilds fallen on hard times?
I have no idea what is going on or what the motivation is, but the story is real: the Rothschilds are suddenly auctioning off assets expected to fetch millions upon millions of dollars at auction.
The Auction is being ran by famed auction house Christies and even has an entire website dedicated to it which you can view here:
This October, Christie’s is honored to present Rothschild Masterpieces, a series of auctions in New York. With collections dating back to the late 18th century, the Rothschilds are famed for their curated trove of extraordinary works of fine and decorative arts that form the interiors of their homes across Europe.
This selection of highlights is part of a sale that comes from the collection of Baron James de Rothschild, his wife Betty and their sons Baron Alphonse and Baron Gustave. So lavish were the interiors of their houses in Paris and at the Château de Ferrières that this style became known as ‘goût Rothschild’.
The collection to be offered includes important maiolica produced in Renaissance Italy, hardstone boxes, silver and silver-gilt sculptures, European furniture and tapestries, Limoges enamels, Old Master paintings, 17th-century jewellery and a set of remarkable painted leather panels from Weißenstein castle in Pommersfelden, Germany.

Sincere question: Why would the Rothschilds, one of the richest families on the earth, be selling off their private collection of heirlooms, art, and historic pieces when these pieces often serve as a symbol of their high status and power?

That’s a fascinating video to watch above.
You know what they say, money can’t buy taste and even though this garbage will bring in millions, it looks like junk to me!
Tasteless, gaudy, ugly junk!
Of course the big question is “why”?
And “why now”?
Is the infamous “RedShields” family running low on cash?
Why sell a symbol of your power if you have so much money? This move by the Rothschilds makes zero sense.

Look at all the junk you could buy!
You could buy this ugly chipped “earthenware’ plate for $30-50,000!
Or is that $428,000?
I don’t know how auctions work, maybe someone can fill me in below in the comments….is this plate $50,000 or $428,000?
What a “Masterpiece”!
Liz Crokin reports asking the family where the proceeds are going, to which she was told it’s a “private matter”.
Interesting.
Christie’s had no comment when media asked where the proceeds from the Rothschild family’s collection were going and a rep for the auction house said it’s a “private matter”.
Why are they auctioning off so much for their fortune & where is the money going?

The Daily Mail says the Auction will fetch “millions”:

A large collection of treasures from the Rothschild family’s private collection is set to go up for auction in North America for the first time and could fetch an eye-watering $30million.
Art, furniture, jewelry, ceramics and silver owned by the banking dynasty will be sold by Christie’s in New York over several auctions from October 11.
The sale titled Rothschild Masterpieces includes more than 600 items which once belonged to Baron James de Rothschild, his wife Betty, and their sons Baron Alphonse and Baron Gustav.
A 17th century oil on panel piece titled ‘A young woman holding a hare with a boy at a window’ is among the most the coveted and is estimated will sell for between $3million and $5million.
Other Rothschild items include a series of gilded leather panels ‘unseen in public for 150 years’ and made by a Rembrandt follower, expected to sell for $1.5million, and a pair of late Louis XV giltwood and white-painted fauteuils, worth up to $1million.
And from CNN:
A vast collection of art, furniture, silver, ceramics, and jewelry long held in the private collection of the Rothschild banking dynasty is expected to sell for as much as $30 million over several auctions this fall at Christie’s New York.
The sales will mark the first dedicated auction in North America of works from the French branch of the long-time banking family. Most of the lots were acquired in the 19th century by Baron James Mayer de Rothschild, his wife Betty and their son Alphonse, and have remained in their descendants’ collection since.
The collection includes art acquired by the family, particularly work by Old Masters, led by Gerrit Dou’s painting “A young woman holding a hare with a boy at a window,” which dates back to the 17th century and is estimated to sell for between $3 million and $5 million.
Among the oldest items in the sale is a first-century AD Roman Sardonyx cameo portrait of the Roman emperor Claudius, which has a $200,000 to $300,000 estimate. Coincidentally, the cameo last came to auction at Christie’s in 1899, when it sold for £3,750 (about £395,000 or $496,000, in today’s money), shortly before it is believed to have entered the Rothschild collection.
“These are things that have been kept away since the end of the 19th century. And unless you knew this particular branch of the family, you wouldn’t have seen them,” said Jonathan Rendell, deputy chairman of Christie’s Americas, in a phone interview. “It’s not the type of thing that, in New York, we normally get to play with. You’re more likely to see a sale like this in Europe.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe consignors, members of the French branch of the Rothschild family who descended from James Mayer de Rothschild, specifically wanted to hold the sale in New York, according to Christie’s. This particular branch of the family lived in the US during World War II, Rendell said, while adding that he expects the collection “would do incredibly well anywhere.”
The Soros Foundation also seems to be falling on hard times…

FACT-CHECK: Mel Gibson Is Making A Movie About The Rothschilds?
Mel Gibson was trending on Twitter today, which usually means one of two things…
Either he’s dead (thankfully not) or he’s taking on some big, new project.
It turns out it was the latter, or at least that was the rumor that was trending.
Here is an example of the posts that were going viral:

Uhhhh yeah, you think they attacked Mel when he made the Passion of the Christ video?
Things would get REALLY ugly if he took on the head of the beast straight on!
Not “friendly” people:
There are rumors going around about Mel Gibson doing a film about the Rothschild family. If so, balls of steel. pic.twitter.com/uTMdpD5ZXM
— Disclosure Company (@DisclosureCo) January 6, 2023
But….is it true?
It is unclear, although there are a lot of very strange reports.
Let’s dig in….
The story actually goes back to 2019 when the reports first began to surface.
For example, here is Page Six, a reputable source, from 2019 making the announcement:
Mel Gibson’s upcoming role sparks outrage over comparisons to Rothschild family https://t.co/SzMS1Gzqlv pic.twitter.com/w9BULlcMtb
— Page Six (@PageSix) May 14, 2019
Here’s what PageSix reported in 2019:
Mel Gibson is set to play a character called Whitelaw Rothchild — in what would appear to be a reference to the wealthy Jewish Rothschild family, sparking outrage because of the actor’s checkered past.
The volatile actor will play the part of the patriarch of the super-rich family in the dark comedy “Rothchild,” which also will feature Shia LaBeouf as family outcast Becket Rothchild, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The script — which bears a striking resemblance to the 1949 British comedy “Kinds Hearts and Coronets” — is set among a group of New York mega-wealthy whose last name is almost identical to the famed Jewish banking dynasty that is often the target of anti-Semitic tropes.
While the ethnicity of the Rothchilds has not been specified, its similarity to the Rothschild name has sparked a backlash because of the incidents that led to Gibson’s longtime snub by Hollywood.
Gibson’s spokesman cried foul Tuesday about “erroneous reporting” by various outlets.
“The criticism stems from the inaccurate reporting that this film is actually about a wealthy family of Jewish bankers, which it is not,” the actor’s longtime publicist Alan Nierob told The Post in an email.
“‘Rothchild’ is not about the actual Rothschild family and the only similarities between the two are that they are wealthy and their names are similar,” he added.
In 2006, Gibson launched an anti-Semitic tirade against a cop after he was arrested for alleged drunken driving in California.
“The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world!” the star yelled at the time, according to the arrest report. He later apologized for his rant.
Gibson also has been accused of promoting anti-Semitic stereotypes with his 2004 film “Passion of the Christ.”
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg described his casting in “Rothchild” as “chilling.”
“Mel Gibson, same dude who gave us ‘F— Jews… Jews are responsible for all wars in the world.’ Is starring as the ‘sinister grandfather’ in ‘Rothchild,’ a ‘black comedy,’’ she said in a tweet.
But it wasn’t just them.
Variety also reported on it in 2019:
Shia LaBeouf and Mel Gibson will star in “Rothchild,” a dark comedy about New York’s super rich helmed by “Stan & Ollie” director Jon S. Baird. HanWay Films has boarded the project and will kick off international sales at Cannes. CAA Media Finance is handling the North American rights.
LaBeouf plays Becket Rothchild, who was cast out from the family. As an adult the charismatic Becket hatches a plan to get back into the family and claim his birth right. There are nine Rothchild family members who stand between him and his fortune including Whitelaw (Gibson), the family patriarch and villain of the piece.
“Rothchild” is being produced by Los Angeles-based production company Unified Pictures. Keith Kjarval and Tyler Jackson will produce alongside Black Box Management’s Lowell Shapiro and Mike Dill who represent the writer.
“Rothchild is a satirical and thrilling ride, and I am elated to be working with a filmmaker like Jon Baird, who not only has an incredible track record of guiding award-winning performances, but is crafting this film to be an action packed cautionary tale on wealth and power,” said Kjarval.
Here’s what Newsweek concluded, rating the rumor FALSE:
False.
While Mel Gibson was attached to a movie called “Rothchild” in 2019, he was not set to direct.
His representative told Newsweek that while Gibson was offered a role, the movie “if it were made, did not include Mr. Gibson” and that the actor “will not be directing, nor has ever intended to direct a film or any upcoming films about the Rothschilds.”
The people behind the original project (which appears to no longer be in production) have also emphasized that it was not related to or based on the Rothschilds, further undermining the conspiratorial “New World Order” narratives that have recently resurfaced on social media.
A video has surfaced of Actor/Director Mel Gibson saluting President Trump at UFC 264.
Gibson who starred in The Patriot which is arguably one of the most patriotic movies of all time let everyone know he’s not just a patriot on screen but off the screen too.
As the Commander of Chief walked by, Gibson straightened up his back and gave Trump a solid salute.
While most of Hollywood wouldn’t dare doing something like this, Gibson doesn’t care what everyone else thinks.
Watch the moment it happened it here:

Just in case you don’t think it’s Mel Gibson but rather someone that just looks like him; a user on Twitter cleared things up and posted a photo of Mel earlier in the night.
The picture reveled he was wearing the same black shirt with his sunglasses hanging from his shirt just as in the video.

The Daily Caller covered the story and released these details:
Mel Gibson was very excited to see former President Donald Trump at UFC 264 late Saturday night.
The “Lethal Weapon” star was enjoying the highly-anticipated fighting event when he saw the former POTUS walking through the crowd, and he fired him a salute as the crowd went wild.
It’s sometimes hard to believe the reality that we’re living in is real. Imagine if I told you 20 years ago that Donald Trump would be attending an MMA event as a former President and Mel Gibson would be saluting him.
